MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday slammed President Joe Biden for paying an official visit to Ukraine, a state that "would lead the United States to a world war."
"Biden didn’t go to East Palestine, Ohio on President’s Day. He went to Ukraine, a NON-NATO nation, whose leader is an actor and is apparently now commanding our United States military to world war," Greene said on Twitter.
She also called for impeachment proceedings against Biden "before it’s too late."
On February 3, a train hauling 20 cars with hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. A big fire erupted as a result of the derailment, leading to officials burning vinyl chloride inside five of the tanker cars in order to avoid a catastrophic explosion. The accident released toxic chemicals, including hydrogen chloride, phosgene, butyl acrylate and ethylene into the environment.
